Performance advantages of petrochemical ceramic injection pump


In the petrochemical industry, transporting corrosive, abrasive, or high-purity media is a key challenge. Traditional metal pumps often face problems such as corrosion, wear, and pollution when facing strong acids, strong bases, high salts, or fluids containing solid particles. Ceramic infusion pumps, with their unique material properties and structural design, have become an efficient solution to these problems. This article will delve into the performance advantages, application scenarios, and practical value of ceramic injection pumps.

Product application: Core equipment that adapts to harsh working conditions
Ceramic injection pumps are designed specifically for extreme conditions in the petrochemical industry and are mainly used for:
-Transport of corrosive media: strong acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and strong alkaline media such as sodium hydroxide.
-High purity process: Avoid metal ion contamination in fine chemical or semiconductor auxiliary material production.
-Abrasive slurry transportation: such as catalyst slurry, slag slurry in coal chemical industry, and granular wastewater.
-High temperature and high pressure environment: Some ceramic materials can withstand high temperature and high pressure conditions above 300 ° C.
Typical application processes include reactor feeding, circulation pump, waste acid recovery, catalyst injection, and process water treatment.

Product advantage: Revolutionary improvement brought by ceramic materials

  1. Excellent corrosion resistance
    Using engineering ceramics such as alumina, zirconia, and silicon carbide, it has strong corrosion resistance to most inorganic acids, organic acids, and alkaline solutions, and its service life is 3-5 times longer than stainless steel pumps.
  2. Superb wear resistance
    Ceramic hardness can reach HRA90 or above, with better wear resistance than high chromium alloys. It is particularly suitable for transporting media containing crystals, fibers, or particles, significantly reducing efficiency decline caused by wear.
  3. High cleanliness and chemical inertness
    The ceramic surface is smooth and dense, not easily adhered to materials, and does not produce metal ion pollution, ensuring the purity of the medium and meeting high standard production requirements.
  4. Good thermal stability
    It can maintain strength and dimensional stability under high temperature conditions, avoiding sealing failure caused by thermal deformation.
  5. Energy efficiency and maintenance cost advantages
    Precision ceramic components combined with optimized hydraulic design can increase efficiency by 5-10% compared to traditional pumps; The long lifespan significantly reduces the frequency of spare parts replacement and downtime losses.

Problem solving: Directly addressing industry pain points
Ceramic injection pumps effectively address the following common issues:
-Frequent damage and high maintenance costs: Under the dual effects of corrosion/abrasion, metal pumps often require maintenance within months, while ceramic pumps can extend the overhaul cycle to more than 2 years.
-Pollution risk: The precipitation of metal ions affects product quality, and the chemical inertness of ceramics fundamentally eliminates pollution.
-Leakage and safety hazards: The combination of ceramics and matching sealing technology significantly reduces the risk of hazardous medium leakage.
-Low energy efficiency: The increase in clearance caused by wear will rapidly deteriorate the efficiency of the pump, and the wear resistance of ceramics ensures long-term efficient operation.

Customer Case (Anonymous)
-A large petrochemical enterprise: In the hydrochloric acid recovery unit, the original stainless steel pump had an average of 3 months of impeller corrosion perforation. After replacing with our silicon carbide ceramic injection pump, it has been running continuously for 28 months, with an expected lifespan of 5 years and a 70% reduction in annual maintenance costs.
-New energy material manufacturer: In the production of high-purity lithium battery materials, our company uses high-purity alumina ceramic pumps to transport electrolytes, reducing the metal impurity content of the product by 90% and meeting the ppb level purity requirements.
-Coal chemical base: used for transporting coal water slurry (with a solid content of 40%), the service life of the original metal pump overcurrent components is less than 6 months. After switching to our toughened zirconia ceramic pump, the wear amount after 18 months of operation was less than 0.5mm, saving over 500000 yuan in annual spare parts costs.
